DR900S-1CH

The best single-channel 4K cloud dashcam 
The DR900S Series redefines expectations for dashcam video fidelity and storage efficiency. 
With its 8-megapixel CMOS sensor in the main camera, the DR900S-2CH captures 4K Ultra High Definition video—four times as many pixels as Full HD. The rear Full HD Sony STARVIS™ image sensor ensures best image quality under any light. Thanks to the H.265 (HEVC) compression, your videos look better and file size is kept as small as ever.

4K UHD Cloud dashcam

The best single-channel 4K dashcam
  • 8 megapixels sensor / 4K Ultra High Definition (3840×2160 @30FPS).
  • The ultra-wide 162-degree angle takes full advantage of the 4K UHD resolution.
  • Your BlackVue captures critical details while driving or in Parking Mode.
  • With the free Over the Cloud add-on service, check on your car from anywhere, anytime

4K Ultra High Definition Quality
ULTRA-CRISP VIDEOS, NOT JUST ON 4K MONITORS

4K UHD is four times as many pixels as Full HD*. This is a huge difference, and it shows.
License plates can be made out more clearly and from further away.
Besides, you don’t need a 4K monitor to appreciate 4K videos.
Even on a Full HD monitor, you can zoom in much further without any visible pixelation.
*HD = 1280×720 pixels (0.92 million pixels);
Full HD = 1920×1080 (2.07 million pixels) = 2.25 x HD pixel count
4K UHD = 3840×2160 (8.29 million pixels) = 4 x Full HD or 9 x HD pixel count

The Best Compression Technology

​4 TIMES THE RESOLUTION BUT SAME RECORDING TIME!
  • Along with the regular H.264 codec, the DR900S Series features H.265, also called High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), the leading standard in 4K recording and broadcasting.
  • With H.265, 4K UHD video file size is similar to that of Full HD H.264. In other words, you get 4 times bigger and better images without sacrificing recording time.
​
Increase your recording time in Full HD.
  • Tip to maximize recording time: set Codec to H.265 and Quality to Normal. Ideal for long Parking Mode sessions.

Built-in GPS & Dual Band WiFi
GPS ADDS LOCATION AND SPEED DATA
  • Speed: speed data will be overlaid in the video (can be turned off in the settings).
  • Location: visualize your vehicle’s location with Google Map assistance in the BlackVue App or Viewer’s Map.

FAST TRANSFER TO YOUR PHONE WITH 5GHZ WI-FI
  • The dual-band 2.4-5GHz Wi-Fi lets you download dashcam videos to a smartphone at blazing speed and allows Over the Cloud functionalities via any Internet-enabled Wi-Fi network. 
  • With BlackVue’s Sub-Stream technology, download Quick Play versions of the original videos for even faster review.

Optimised File Management

IMPROVED SECURITY AND RELIABILITY
Event Files Overwrite Protection:
Dashcams record in a loop, overwriting older files when the memory is full. BlackVue DR900S-1CH can prevent Event files (triggered manually or by impacts) overwriting. Up to fifty (50) files can be protected this way. You can choose to allow new Event files to overwrite past Event files, thus keeping the latest fifty.
Adaptive Format-Free File Management 
This BlackVue-developed file system improves recording stability and requires less microSD card formatting.
​Scheduled Reboots (see Parking Mode section below)

Your BlackVue comes equipped with a U1 (16GB, 32GB) or U3 microSD Card (64GB, 128GB), guaranteeing high transfer speed and tested for durability.

​Video Codec/ Quality Settings Combinations
​
Keep in mind: 
  • Codec (H.265) is the main determining factor of video quality.
  • To maximize recording time while maintaining video quality, choose H.265 | Normal Quality.
  • Due to its more complex algorithm, H.265 requires higher processing power for playback than H.264. 
Note: bitrate data expressed for front camera
